Executive summary: Founder, Craigslist
for singlehandedly destroying their classified advertising revenue model --
Craigslist has no fees for advertising, with the exception of job postings
in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles. The site is thus not highly
monetized, one reason for its popularity. Estimates are that even this meagre
way of conducting business grosses as much as $25M annually. Newmark
refers to his girlfriend as "The Girlfriend", much to her annoyance.

It's becoming much more difficult putting items for sale on Craigslist. You must supply them with a phone number in which to be reached immediately after placing the ad for verification before it will be posted. As it dials immediately after the click those on dialup are screwed if you don't want to give out a cell or have another number.
